    In Baoci Palace, Han Qi said: "The Empress Dowager is not in good health, and Concubine Lin's birthday is coming soon. The Empress Dowager can make a big deal, and then invite King Qin to come back." "Yes, my aunt is ill, and it is my biological mother's birthday. As a human son,  It would be unfilial if he doesn¡¯t come!¡± ¡°The King of Qin is far away in Chang¡¯an and is beyond his reach, but Bianjing belongs to the official family and the Queen Mother!¡± Gao Taotao smiled happily: ¡°As long as he comes back, everything will be easy!¡±  It's best to create a big publicity and let everyone in the world know that if he doesn't come back, he will be accused of being unfilial, so that he can be forced to do so, and then find a way to prevent him from slipping away again. If the dragon is trapped in the shallows, he will be a loach!  "Well, this matter will be done immediately!" Gao Taotao said, and the news came before Yi's decree came out of Baoci Palace.  The Western Army crossed the river to seize the beach in Lanzhou, Zhuoluo Army Division won a great victory!  This is not the point, but the King of Qin has already marched westward and sent troops to Hexi!  Han Qi was stunned, and Gao Taotao's face suddenly turned dark and cold. In this way, the strategy just now became meaningless.  If there is nothing serious, it would be unfilial for King Qin not to come back to visit his mother.  But it is business to send troops to Hexi and fight fiercely with Xixia. This is a perfect excuse. No one will say anything wrong with King Qin.  Instead, he would praise the King of Qin for his bravery and fighting for the country, without even having time to visit his mother.  Especially in Hexi, this is a land that is almost two hundred years away from the Central Plains. It is also an important place that literati and intellectuals dream about.  By herding horses in Hexi, we can reach out to the Western Regions, and the restoration of the old realm of the Han and Tang Dynasties is just around the corner.  Although the Song Dynasty was also called a great country, the scholar-bureaucrats knew it well.  The Song Dynasty was far behind the prosperous times of the Han and Tang Dynasties.  The King of Qin did this.  Unintentional is a symbol of the rise of the Song Dynasty.  It may be too early to enter the Western Region.  But if they occupy Hexi, Xixia's territory will be gradually eroded and will eventually perish.  Since the time of Li Jiqian, Xixia has been a serious concern of the Song Dynasty. In fact, the harm it caused far exceeded that of the Liao Kingdom.  For many years, the Song Dynasty had been counting on the destruction of Xixia and regaining its lost territory, but unfortunately it never came true.  Now.  His Majesty the King of Qin has made this dream gradually come true, and its full realization is just around the corner!  ??There is no doubt that this is an exciting time.  If Xixia were destroyed, the Song Dynasty would no longer have any worries, and what would the Liao Kingdom have to fear?  Everyone in the Song Dynasty was happy and excited about it!  Han Qi smiled bitterly and said: "Queen Mother, I'm sorry that the plan can't keep up with the changes!" "Forget it!" Gao Taotao sighed and said, "Let's think of another way!" "Yes!" "By the way, what are the officials doing?  Reaction?" Gao Taotao asked.  She knew that Zhao Xu would definitely know about it first.  The chamberlain who came to report the news said: "The officials sent King Pu to the northwest to labor the army!" Labor the army?  Gao Taotao and Han Qi looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes!  In the Chui Gong Hall.  Zhao Xu sat on the throne and hesitated for a long time before raising his palm. On the bright yellow handkerchief, a patch of blood was very obvious.  There was no trace of blood on Zhao Xu¡¯s face, it was extremely pale and terrifying!  After a while, he started to sneer, his smile was desolate, his smile was cold, and his eyes showed complicated emotions.  The chamberlains all stood aside silently, not daring to express their anger. The atmosphere in the Chui Gong Hall was extremely solemn.  Xiaohai's legs couldn't help but tremble slightly, and beads of sweat left on her forehead, eventually gathering into streams on her face, or flowing into her neck, and dripping down on her insteps.  Everyone was trembling with fear, lest they accidentally offended the officials' sensitive nerves.  It was not until a long time later, when Queen Xiang entered the Chui Gong Hall, that the chamberlains breathed a sigh of relief as if they had been pardoned.  "Official!" "Well, you're here!" Zhao Xu finally came back to his senses. He was moody to others, but he was always polite to Queen Xiang.  Ever since the Chui Gong Palace was struck by lightning that year, and Xiang took care of the queen without taking any clothes off, the relationship between the couple has become much deeper. At first, they treated each other with respect, but now they have a bit of a mutual affection.  "Well, it's getting late, but the official family hasn't had dinner yet!" "Okay, let's eat it together!" Zhao Xu moved, and the bright yellow handkerchief in his hand was revealed.  The queen's eyes flashed with fear, and she said worriedly: "Guardian, please ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look!" "It's okay!" Zhao Xu himself felt that his words were weak.  Especially when he stood up, he staggered and fell down on the throne again.  He was full of worries towards the queen, but Zhao Xu smiled unusually, hesitated for a moment and said: "Queen, I want to leave something for you!" "Why did the official say this?" When he heard the word "leave",? Xiang Queen had a very bad feeling in her heart.  Zhao Xu shook his head and said: "It's always good to be prepared. It's just a pity that I didn't have a son with you!" "Our daughter is also very well-behaved!" Queen Xiang's pretty face turned red, and she said, "All the children in the palace, including my concubines, are  Treat her as your own. " "Yes, you are the legitimate mother of the princes!" Zhao Xu nodded and asked, "Then are you willing to protect them?" "I will do my best to protect the children of the officials!  "Queen Xiang replied firmly.  "Okay, your words are enough!" Zhao Xu said: "I will write an edict to you now for future preparation" After saying that, Zhao Xu picked up the imperial pen and saw the two words "Zhi Yue" falling on the paper.  Words, this is the beginning format of the emperor¡¯s edict!  Looking at the queen word by word, her expression gradually became serious. After a long time, she said softly: "Guan family, the queen mother will not" "Huh, I believe that the premise of the empress is that she can support Xu'er!" After Zhao Xu finished writing, Gai Xu  He put the jade seal on and handed it to Queen Xiang, who warned: "Keep it well and remember your promise to me!" "Yes!" "Let's go have dinner!" This time, Zhao Xu stood up smoothly and stepped forward.  Calm.  When the emperor and empress were getting along, the chamberlains all stood outside the door, and the conversation could only be heard vaguely. Although Xiaohai had excellent hearing, he could only hear fragments of words intermittently.  However, he clearly noticed that when he went out to the queen, the jade shaft flashed under the corner of his clothes, and he knew in his heart that it should be an imperial edict.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pu Wang Zhao Zongsheng came out of the palace and sat on the carriage with a heavy heart.  As the emperor's uncle and the legitimate son of King Pu'an Yi, his status is quite noble.  However, Zhao Zongsheng did not have many ambitions. On the contrary, he just wanted to be a peaceful and free king.  This pursuit is very simple and simple, but it is not easy to achieve.  The years when the thirteenth brother Zhao Zongshi was in power were not bad.  But today's nephew Zhao Xu is really troublesome.  During the seven or eight years that my nephew has been in power, he, the distinguished prince, has had a hard time.  First, Zhao Zongyong, the king of Yuhang County, severely suppressed these clan members, the King of Qin.  That's all, as long as you behave yourself, you'll be fine.  But now, Zhao Xu often looks for trouble and asks him to deal with some dirty and difficult things.  First, he assassinated Zhao Zhao, and then accompanied him to the Yong'an Imperial Tomb to guard the King of Qin.  Unfortunately, both things went wrong, which made his nephew very angry. If he had not taken into account the outside discussions and had the Queen Mother to help him speak up, his title of prince would have been lost long ago.  Over the past year, Zhao Zongsheng has been extremely cautious, fearing that something would go wrong again.  On weekdays, he tried to avoid the emperor's nephew as much as possible to avoid getting into trouble.  But sometimes, there is no way to avoid it!  These days, the emperor¡¯s nephew has been eyeing him again, and today he was specially summoned to the palace to give him an errand!  Go to the northwest to work the army and comfort the King of Qin!  "Congratulations, hum, this trip to the northwest is not easy.  The meaning behind the emperor's nephew's words was obvious, and he completely pushed himself to the point of no return.  If you go down this road, you will definitely die, but you must follow the order, even if you know that the road ahead is dark.  Zhao Zongsheng is very unwilling, but very helpless!  Why have things reached this point?  Zhao Zongsheng's heart was full of resentment, and he was thinking that maybe what he did in the past was a mistake.  At least the current results are too bad.  Zhao Zongsheng didn¡¯t want to die so mysteriously and become the ultimate scapegoat for others to take advantage of.  But, how can we survive?  If you can find another sheep before that, maybe you won't have to "Go to the Withered Grass Alley!" "Yes!" The driver and the retinue were slightly surprised, and then changed direction.  "Kicao Lane" was not originally called this name.  There used to be a huge mansion here, and the owner had a prominent position. There was a bustling crowd and an endless stream of guests all day long. ??????????????????? But something unexpected happened later, and the owner¡¯s status dropped sharply, and the mansion here was suddenly deserted, and eventually fell into disrepair.  Because there is only this family in the alley and no one else sets foot in the alley, the entire alley is covered with weeds. In autumn and winter, the ground is covered with dead grass, making it even more desolate.  Coupled with the owner's experience, it was called the Withered Grass Alley.  It¡¯s surprising that Kucao Lane welcomed a guest today!  In April, the weather is warm, and the grass in the alley is not withered, but green.  Zhao Zongsheng sat on the carriage and looked through the window. When he saw the scene in front of him, his eyes were complicated and his mood was sad.  What was this place back then???Prosperous, not much different from my own Prince Pu's Mansion.  But todayin addition to lamenting the past, Zhao Zongsheng was more worried.  He is afraid that his palace will be very bad in the future, even worse than here The servants are clearing the long grass in the alley, not to block the wheels of the carriage, but also because they are afraid that there are snakes and insects hiding in the grass, hurting or frightening Pu.  king.  Zhao Zongsheng himself was sitting on the carriage, his sympathy for the desolation was obvious, and there was an endless worry in his eyes!  After a long time, the servants finished cleaning up, and the carriage drove into the alley and stopped in front of a mansion.  Judging from the regulations of the mansion, it turns out that the owner¡¯s status is quite high.  It's just that it has deteriorated now. The gate of the family has been blocked with wooden boards and fences. It seems more like a huge prison!  A plaque was placed on the door. Although the door was covered with thick ashes, under the light of the torch, a few words could still be seen vaguely - Yuhang County Prince's Mansion!  (To be continued)
